My brother is leased to Horizon, a Trailer Transit company out of Elkhart. He gets the same rate but is usually only loaded 1 way, has to find a place to sleep when ety, you can't sleep in the truck unless it has a "DOT" approved sleeper and cant use heat or water or the toilet in a new one. He says they don't pay any extra, and only give you a 500 mile/day limit to deliver. Most 5ers pull like sleds too.Return expenses are not built in, someone is dreaming and a decent motel is $95.00.
Actually you CAN legally sleep in your truck, you just can't call it a sleeper.
